Thanks. I can reproduce what you said. It also works in the converse case;
if you clear the intl.charset.default option in Galeon's prefs.js, clear
the GConf key and remove the cache dir, Galeon "works" again.

Ouch. I can't quite figure out what's going on here, but it does look
ugly, and something to do with Mozilla. I wonder if (as a workaround)
Galeon should just steer clear of the option altogether?

Or, perhaps it's even a possibility that Moz is doing something that's
strictly correct but unexpected? I really don't know enough about
charsets/encoding to know.

Should someone file a Mozilla bug? I'm going to hang on a while to see if
anyone who knows more about this can shed any light on what's going on. A
quick search reveals the following bugs which may or may not be connected:
